MosJan Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 NICOSIA'S ARMENIAN QUARTER BEING RETURNED TO ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF CYPRUShttp://www.armtown.com/img/photo/pan_en_25575.jpgThe opening of Ledra street in the Cypriot capital of Nicosia, as agreed by President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, has brought about prospects for fresh restructuring of the Paphos Gate, that extends a hundred meters from the Ledra street check point. To that end the Armenian quarter at Paphos Gate - now under Turkish occupation - is being returned to the rightful owners, the Armenian community of Cyprus. As announced a few years ago the Armenian quarter on Victoria street, comprising of The Sourp Asdvadzadzin Church, The Armenian Prelature, The Armenian Genocide Memorial, the Melikian-Ouzounian elementary school and The Armenian Kindergarten started going through major renovations, funded by the UNOPS which have taken place on quarters on both side of Nicosia. It is expected that the Armenian quarter on Victoria street will return to our community in a better condition than before the invasion and inter-community troubles, Gibrahayer Magazine reports.

Ashot Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Nazarian, do you really think that News Agencies would care to do April Fools news? so basically whatever was said on April First on any news should not be taken seriously?

Nazarian Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Nazarian, do you really think that News Agencies would care to do April Fools news? so basically whatever was said on April First on any news should not be taken seriously? Before an attack like that you should have done your due diligence. Here: Gibrahayer Magazine April 2, Nicosia, 2008 Dear subscribers, Instead of our weekly dispatch on Wednesday, we sent out Gibrahayer e-magazine yesterday, because it was April 1, and we wanted to be part of the April Fools Day "celebrations" by sharing these stories with you. * The Ledra street may be opening today, but Victoria street is not. Nor is the Turkish occupation regime returning the Armenian quarter. * Ex-President Tassos Papadopoulos's election team may have used Vartkes Mahdessian's campaign slogan, but we are not taking legal action against them. * Recently, we have all been hearing Turkish voices accepting the Armenian Genocide, but Turkish Cypriots will not be commemorating the 1915 Armenian Genocide at Buyuk Khan on April 24.... well at least this year ! These were the stories that were included in the April Fool's Day issue and we hope you enjoyed them. Happy April Fools Day Gibrahayer e-magazine.

edward demian Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Heh, too good to be true; too unbelievable. How cruel. For a brief second I experienced a child like state of joy and disbelief. It was my hope of a slight glimmer of humanity in the world. Once again I remain dissapointed. But then, I remember my fathers last words as he died: "At least I lived to see Armenian independence and the end of communism". Who would have thought? I suppose anything can happen.

Zartonk Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I love the fact that a news source would pull something like that. They might as well have reported the sudden departure of all Turks from the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazarian Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I love the fact that a news source would pull something like that. They might as well have reported the sudden departure of all Turks from the island. It was really funny to see all the Armenian news agencies and some of the papers publish two of the items without any fact checking. The Armenian media is in a really sorry state. It's so easy to bait them - say mention the words 'genocide' or 'Turk' and they'll be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The journalistic merit can be substandard, and it is nearly impossible to visit an Armenian news source without encountering a Turkish item that does not necessarily concern Armenian affairs.
